How do you guys feel about the paragon/renegade system being scrapped?

How do you guys feel about the paragon/renegade system being scrapped?

The thing is.. that usually it doesn't mean better characters for me, it means more text for boring ones. ME1 and ME3 have less squadmates than ME2, but- they are pretty boring compared to ME2's colorful cast. This is just subjective opinion of course, but it seems that when BW game has less companions the companions they have tend not be that good. But when they have these companions that aren't even focused that much in the game.. they are way more interesting (aka Thane, Legion, Kasumi- 3 of my fav characters in the game). More squadmates seems to give them permission to go explore more colorful and less seen characters than just insert another Alliance soldier or mandatory Asari to the game.

That's why quantity brings quality for me cause without quantity quality wouldn't exist.

Though I'm being bit harsh with this, it's not like can't stand some ME characters or anything like that. It's just that they aren't my favorites and they could be more interesting to me. If I could decide squaddies for ME:A I'd scrap Liam, Cora, Peebee, Drack from the squaddies and insert young adult Drell that is rebellious towards Hanar and tradition, AI character who is not finding their individuality, but has already made that journey, Batarian that has conflict of trusting humans etc. Something fresher, more interesting.. But that would be just what I like. I'm fine with what we got since at least Jaal and Vetra feel like that to me.

Lol I really went to places while writing this ^^;

When they talk about the cut salarian squadmate, why do I keep imagining a salarian infiltrator?

I think for the first time I have a little tiny bit of specualation/whish for Jaal, and I thought I'd ask opinion: I'm thinking he might be the infiltrator of the team, does that sound right? SR, visor and maybe even tactical cloak/poncho  

So, assuming he was an infiltrator, maybe he could be a spy? I know it's a little too much like IB, but I'm thinking more like head of the intelligence service or some high rank spy dedicated to protect and advice the angaran leader, something like that.

I admit it's a little of wishfull thinking because I love spies (they're usually so cool, wordly, smart, tough ) but, does this sound likely or more or less in line whith your speculations? or what is what most people here is expecting?

Maybe they'll surprise us with a Kett squadmate? 

Huh this line of thinking never occurred to me. I mean, yeah Jaal being an infiltrator is likely, but I never actually thought that might affect what he does for a living (dang gameplay and story segregation  ). I wouldn't think he'd end up being too much like Iron Bull if he turns out to be some sort of spy/intelligence agent as long as his personality and arc are different. Leliana was a spy of sorts, but she and IB were very different.

I'm personally leaning away from him being a prince though he doesn't strike me as dumb muscle either; he seems more noble in character rather than station to me. But any speculation is just as good as any other at this stage. We'll just have to wait and see which one of us is right.

The angaraans did sound pretty suspicious of Ryder so I can imagine Jall being like "You want to judge this person you never met, well I'm gonna fight alongside him and then judge him."
